Customer Reviews of A Fine Romance (Episodes 1-9)

a fine romance
An ardent fan of As Time Goes By I had always felt "robbed" of the true romantic chemistry lacking in this fantastic and clever series. A Fine Romance is never out of my recorder and DVD player and I now see clearly the amazing chemistry between Michael Williams and his real life wife. To me, although the series with Geoffrey Palmer is more sophisticated, this unlikely couple give an honest portrayal of very awkward people thrust together in later life. I treasure this collection above all others and only wish they had made more

Not As Time Goes By, but nice to watch
A previous reviewer had noted that it was too hard to believe that Judi Dench's character would fall for Michael Williams' character. This might be helped along by the fact that the two were very happily married in real life for many years until he passed away last year.

I really enjoy this series, but feel that many people came upon it looking for something more after loving the As Time Goes By series. The dialog and plot lines don't compare, but it does share the sweetness and simplicity. It is a bit slow-moving, even for its genre. Still, it will provide a supplement for those deprived of Judi Dench's wonderful acting now that As Time Goes By has completed its final season.

Casting
I love watching Judi Dench. Almost anything she does is enjoyable. I have seen all the As Time Goes By episodes and thoroughly enjoyed them. I am very late seeing A Fine Romance. The trouble is I can't believe the story, That her character would care so much for a poor, rude, down and out person is unbelievable.
